Jason Goes To Hell

[Mario]

The auction house Profiles In History are offering two Friday the 13th-related props as part of their Hollywood Auction 31, to be held March 28-29, 2008.These items are offered as authentic movie memorabilia used during the production of their featured films.I personally had the chance to analyze both items in person and came to the following conclusions:<img src=\"http://i25.tinypic.com/2rlyft0.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />1061 hero metal machete from Freddy vs JasonThis machete was originally auctioned by New Line as part of their official studio auctions back in 2003 to promote themovie in the U.S. It comes with full paperwork (COA) directly from New Line backing up its origins directly to the production.When I had that machete in my hands back in 2006, I noticed that the handle is wrapped with black tape, not as seen on screen with white tape. Also, the one hero machete in my collection has white tape wrapped around.No question this machete offered by Profiles In History was used during production. If it is screen used is another question.This item starts at $7,500 and the Profiles estimate is $7,500 - $9,500 <img src=\"http://i28.tinypic.com/flah4p.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />1062 Jason mask worn by Kane Hodder Jason Goes to HellThis is a highly questionable item and in my eyes not proven authentic. Compared to the masks prooven to beauthentic this mask here differs in:- color: completely different paint and colors.- shape: especially the borders and rear side of the mask vary completely. - condition: this mask does not show any signs of aging.- material: different plastic, different rivets and also the straps are from different leather.This item starts at $15,000 and the Profiles estimate is $15,000 - $18,000.<b>Please find the original article here:</b><a href=\"http://www.fridaythe13thprops.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=30&Itemid=44\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.fridaythe13thprops.de/index.php...0&Itemid=44</a>
